Have Unwanted Gift Cards? Sell Them!

It happens... sometimes you'll receive a gift card as a gift, for your birthday, or even for winning a sweepstakes/IWG and it's for a store you rarely go to or don't shop at, at all. So what do you do with it? Give it away to someone else? Let it sit around forever and forget about it? Why not sell it for something you can use?

This happened to me recently. I had received a $25 Macy's gift card after winning an Herbal Essences Instant Win Game. There aren't any Macy's stores nearby, and I rarely if at all shop there. I don't like using store gift cards online because shipping would be taken out of it as well. I decided, why not sell it? So I began searching for sites that buy and sell gift cards and came across a few of them, but ultimately decided to try out Gift Card Rescue. It was quick and easy. I entered what my cards were that I was selling and what they were worth. I chose to receive an Amazon Gift card as a payment and it quickly told me how much money I would get for selling the card. I then went on to mail them my gift cards. I was a little nervous at first, because I sent them in the regular mail without tracking or anything. Maybe around a week later I received an email that they had received my cards, and a day after that I received my gift card code in my email. Quick, easy, painless, and I now have $$ I can spend somewhere I actually buy things. I will definitely be using their site again when I have more unwanted giftcards.

Steps to Take When Selling a Gift Card:

1. Search for sites that buy gift cards.
2. Separate the legit from the scam. You can do this by checking out the site, but also searching for customer reviews of the sites. If you see an overwhelming majority of disappointed people, avoid the site.

3. Compare Prices. If you've found a few sites you'd be willing to use, start the process to find out how much they will pay you for your card so you know you're getting the best deal.

Upcoming Giveaways

On Monday, July 11th, Scrubbing Bubbles will be giving away 500 brand new One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner products which aren't even available in stores yet! This will happen "later in the evening" and that is all the info their currently is pertaining to the time. This is a few more than their usual product packs they give away, but they will STILL go EXTREMELY fast. I would suggest Robo Form or Auto Fill as your best bet at getting these, along with constant refreshing.

~~~~~~

On Tuesday, July 12th, VocalPoint will have an offer on their site so if you aren't currently a member, make sure you join. They occasionally offer some awesome freebies, generally full size samples of new products not even in stores yet as well.

~~~~~~

On Tuesday, July 19th, EMI Yoshi will be having a giveaway sometime between 12 p.m. - 3 p.m. EST. (That's 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. PT, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. CT) They will be giving away an undetermined amount of 10ct packs of their brand new 5 oz. Square Wave Bowls. Usually the amount is around 200/250. You have to be fast for this one too, although so far I've never had any trouble getting it in time. Autofill is a big help here.

Downy Unstopables Product Review

I, as a member of VocalPoint, got a free full size product to try out--- Downy's new Unstopables. Unstopables is an in-wash scent booster that you add to your washing machine. Inside the container are a bunch of scent beads that will dissolve in your water for a lasting freshness. It's safe for all colors, fabrics, and loads and you can use it with or without fabric softener.

So when it comes to new things I'm not a patient person so I gathered up a small load of towels and clothes and headed to the basement, Unstopables in hand.

I like the product design. The cap comes off easily and is easy to use to shake some of the product into. The lid is easy to open, but also stays shut tightly enough where you wont accidentally spill. I filled the cap maybe halfway since it was a small load of clothes. As you can see below I'm shaking it over the clothes (although in the directions it had you put them in before the clothes... but I don't think this matters.)

So the beads did dissolve and you could smell the scent once you took the clothes out of the wash, but the main question in my mind was could it withstand the dryer? Because fabric softener, for example, always fades while in the dryer. Took them out of the dryer, and YES the scent was still as strong as ever. In fact, I may have added a bit too much for my small load of clothes. Could still smell them in my room when I entered it later on at night.

Do I like the product? Yes.
Does the scent last long? Yes.

Would I buy it again? This would depend on the price in the stores. It's a new product and I haven't seen it in stores yet, so I'm not sure what the price is, but the price definitely would influence whether or not this would be something I purchase.
